Overstock Reminds Investors, Broker-Dealers of Trading Requirements of Series A-1 Preferred Shares
“It has come to the company’s attention that shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are being sold on platforms other than the alternative trading system (ATS), operated by tZERO ATS, LLC,” said Overstock Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Johnson. “These transfers are in violation of the transfer restrictions imposed on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the Certificate of Designation. Overstock is considering all options, including legal action, to stop sales of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in violation of the transfer restrictions.”
Comment: The naked short sellers are boxed in — but they are trying hard to dupe naive investors and inattentive pension fund managers into accepting alternatives that are counterfeit — compounding their previous fraud with new fraud. There are probably 30 million counterfeit shares out there, if not more. If the SEC were honest, which it is not, it would be all over this as a pilot project to rapidly nail every naked short seller of Overstock now active.

Bloomberg, 18 May 2020
If Overstock’s dividend plan proves successful, the implications for U.S. markets could be significant.

On Wall Street, brokerage firms and exchanges are loath to see the launch of any security that raises the specter of a monopoly and could cut them out of trading and listing fees.

Crying Foul In Short-Selling Land

Forbes, 9 May 2006
An issue once relegated to conspiracy theorists and boiler-room insiders is about to get its 15 minutes in the sun when the Senate Judiciary Committee takes up naked short-selling in a hearing next Wednesday.
The hearing, which was postponed a week because of scheduling (and what was said to be overwhelming media interest), will focus on a brewing controversy that has already generated lawsuits against hedge funds, broker firms and research analysts alleging market manipulation in short-selling certain thinly traded stocks.
Naked short selling, or naked shorting, is the practice of short-selling a tradable asset of any kind without first borrowing the security or ensuring that the security can be borrowed, as is conventionally done in a short sale. When the seller does not obtain the shares within the required time frame, the result is known as a “failure to deliver” (“FTD”). The transaction generally remains open until the shares are acquired by the seller, or the seller’s broker settles the trade.
